| They really gave me the mic at camp read!! |
Testing is
finally over! (Except for running records) We’ve had visitors from all over,
guest speakers, TCAP block party, field day, Camp Read, and soon to be
graduation.
On top of
it, to keep things interesting, I’ve been doing the Countdown to Summer! We
started at 10 and are on our way down. I tried to make the school’s activities
fit into the plan so that I didn’t have to do EXTRA work. J
Day 10- ABC
Day one
Day 9- ABC
Day 2
Kids got to
play a Minute to Win it Game: Stackable cups, then we played Kaboom! Students
had to complete a sheet of synonyms for the word eat, and put them in order.
Finally they had to complete an ABC Book for Social Studies found here.
Students ate ABC animal crackers and
juice.
Day 8-
Camping Day
This was so
much fun! I brought in my fire pit, and made a tissue paper fire. On the
projector, I had a campfire that crackled, we listened to nature sounds on
Youtube. We practiced our map and geography skills. Then we had a campfire read
aloud, and they had independent reading around the campsite. Then we ate s’more
snacks. (The day before in science lab, they created solar ovens and made s’mores
with the scientist. Connection!)
Day 7-
Theater Day
We
discussed the difference between theater and the movie theater. Then we read a
book on getepic.com called Jeremy and the Enchanted Theater. Then we practiced
for our Reader’s Theater. They enjoyed practicing their parts. They didn’t
really enjoy sitting through the delivery, but to help get us through that
there was juice and theater candy. J

For the past 9 years I taught sixth grade so I always had to plan graduation, end of year trips, awards, parties, etc. This year I switched to fifth grade and I am enjoying just spending time with my class and letting them get outside a little more. We still have another month and a bit to go...our last day is June 26th.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year in 4th, so it's been a change! I hope the end of the year goes well for you! I couldn't imagine going that late. Our air doesn't work in half of the school. :)
DeleteOh my gosh! I love your camping activities. I can't believe you brought in a tent and all those supplies. You're a better woman than me! :)
ReplyDeleteYour students look like they had so much fun!!!!
I thought I had replied to this earlier!! I have been wanting to have that for sooo long! They really did enjoy it all. I think that if we weren't having families come I wouldn't have gone all out. ;)
